A 25-tonne metal yellow submarine has been officially unveiled at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport giving the place even more of a Beatles theme. The bright yellow construction first appeared years ago at the Liverpool Garden Festival (ah, I remember the Liverpool Garden Festival) and had been in the city's Chavasse Park until last year, when it was removed to accommodate redevelopment work there. The submarine will now be situated at the airport on the public walkway outside the terminal building. Imagine that.
Confirming the Yellow Submarine's new home, Liverpool Council boss Mike Storey told reporters: "What better welcome can we give to visitors to this city then to have the yellow submarine right outside the airport? It fits in well with the Beatles theme which is developing at the airport."
